I'm really concerned about this ongoing chest pain I've been experiencing along with pain in my left arm. It's been happening quite a lot over the past eight months. I'm trying to figure out what's really going on. Any ideas what could be causing this?

This could be a sign of a heart condition, specifically angina or a heart attack. It is important to seek immediate medical attention. In the meantime, you can take aspirin (e.g. Bayer Aspirin) 325mg to help reduce the risk of blood clot formation.

View allI'm concerned about my blood pressure; it's around 140 over 88. I'm wondering what precautions I should take? Also, what should I include in my diet? And could you recommend some exercises I should consider? I'm 184 cm tall and weigh 80 kg.
To help lower your blood pressure, you should focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Start by incorporating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins while limiting your intake of saturated fats, cholesterol, and sodium. Consider the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet as a guide. Additionally, engage in regular physical activity such as brisk walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming for at least 30 minutes most days of the week. Aim to achieve and maintain a healthy weight by combining a balanced diet with exercise. It's also important to manage stress levels, get an adequate amount of quality sleep, and limit alcohol consumption. In terms of medication, if lifestyle modifications are not sufficient, you may need to consult a healthcare provider for prescription antihypertensive medications

I'm a bit concerned about my blood pressure. It's usually around 13584 or sometimes 14084, but it never goes beyond 140. My doctor prescribed me torsemide for a short periodonly 20 tabletsand said it's mainly because of anxiety. Is this normal? Should I be worried about taking the torsemide, or is it safe to just stop after finishing the tablets like my doctor suggested?
A blood pressure reading of 13584 or 14084 is slightly elevated but not alarming. Your doctor prescribed torsemide for a short period to manage fluid retention, likely linked to anxiety. It's normal in such cases, but it's important to follow up if you continue to feel concerned.
